Rev. Thos. j. Duncan, presiding
elder of this district, one Of the
abiest and most jealous prohibi
tlon advocates in Tennessee, deliv-
cred lecture before large audi
ence in church at Springfield,
Robertson county last Friday night,
and while in the midst of it deaf
ening explosion occurred outside
just under q window, all the glass
of which came crashing in, and in
few seconds another and louder re-
port followed. OF course it startled
the audience. Many ladies and
gentlemen were sitting just at the
window and it was not the fault of
the person who fired the bombs that
some Of them were not killed. An
other meeting-a concert we believe
was IN progress across and fur
ther down the street, but that the
bomb was not aimed at it is evil
dent from the fact that it was on
the opposite side of the church and
across the street from them. An
examination next morning revealed
two holes in tue ground in which
your hat would fit but no powder
marks and no fragments Of bottles,
Irvine, or anything was visible.
Mr.. Duncan says the report differ
ed fiom any he ever heard and it is
thought by many that it was dyna
mite, and the facts clearly sustain
that conclusion.
Immediately upon the crash Mr..
Duncan asked his audience what it
meant and the response came from
several that it was the whisky men
attempting to intimidate the pro-
hibitionists, and the speaker in
stantly announced his purpose
TO speak in the courthouse in
Springfield on the next first Mon
day. There is great indignation
there and it has arrayed all law
! abiding people on one side.
A young man Of Springfield writes
the Union to explain the occurrence
and says the boys were only having
a little fun-that the authorities
had placed some unnecessarily on
erous restrictions on fire crackers
and christmas explosives and that
the boys took every occasion to an
noy the authorities. This is con
sidered by those acquainted with
the facts as a lame excuse. There
has been trouble between the au
thorities and the boys, but it was
the whisky boys, and these same
tactics have been used before TO in
timIdate and deter them in maxi 2
stringent laws expecting whisky
and drunkenness, and there is nc
| doubt there that this was done by
the whisky men, not to kill anybody
but to annoy and intimidate them
MI. Duncan does not think they in
tended to kill him but that they
wanted to scarce him and keeE
him from lectunng.
, 1t is considered an iuexcusablt
and unmitigated outrage and thai
it will make 800 votes Tor prohibi
ton in that county The perpe
traitors are suspected.

How Women Lose Their Height.

Women, especially those of the upper classes, who are not obliged to keep them selves in condition by work, lose after middle age-sometimes earlier-a considerable amount of their height, not by stepping, as men do, but by actual collapse, sinking down-mainly to be attributed to the perish ins of the muscles that support the frame in consequence of the habitual and constant pressure of stays and dependence upon the artificial support by them afforded Every girl who wears stays that pres upon these muscles and restrict the free development of the Ebers that form them, relieving them from their natural duties of supporting the spine-indeed, incapacitatmg them from so dOng-may feel sure she k preparing herself for a dumpy woman Failure of health among women when the vigor of youth passes away Is but too patent and bat too commonly caused by this practice. Most women, from long custorA of wearing these stays, are really unaware E~.v much they are hampered and restricted. A girl of 70, intended by nature to be one of her finest specimens, gravely as- sures one that her stays are not tight, being exactly the same size as those she was first put into, BOt perceivirg her condemnation in the fact that she has grown five inches in height and two in shoulder breadth. Her stays are not too tight, because the constant pressure has prevented the natural develop ment of the heart and lung space-Chicago Tribune

As the profession of medicine man carries with it autocratic powers such as even chiei' tainship does not bring, it is the object of tho highest aspirations of the young brave. As rule. women are excluded from the privileges of this class, but occasionally one attains tc such a rank by virtue of some extraordinary gift. Except in rare instances, admission into the profession requires a more or less CT tended noyitiate or apprenticeship. To be come an assistant even requires considerable effort and expense on the part of the candi date and bis friends.
